Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and in particular to a compatibilizer, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyamide (commonly known as nylon) is a condensation-type polymer compound with repeating amide units in its main chain. It possesses excellent mechanical properties, processing properties, chemical corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability, making it widely used in electronics, automotive engineering plastics, textiles, packaging, and other fields. However, the most commonly used aliphatic nylon 66 and nylon 6 suffer from inherently low impact toughness, necessitating modification in practical applications. This includes physical blending and toughening, where toughening components such as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), polyolefin elastomer (POE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) are added to the matrix to enhance toughness. However, these toughening components, such as POE, are not highly compatible with polyamide, necessitating the addition of a compatibilizer to improve compatibility between the toughening component and the matrix resin. Conventional compatibilizers include EPDM grafted with maleic anhydride (EPDM-g-MA), POE grafted with maleic anhydride (POE-g-MA), and PP / PE grafted with maleic anhydride (PP / PE-g-MA). POE grafted with maleic anhydride is the most common compatibilizer, serving as a bridge to enhance the adhesion and compatibility between polar and non-polar materials. Its primary application is in nylon modification. Maleic anhydride-grafted POE can be used as a compatibilizer in nylon composites filled with glass fiber, talc, and calcium carbonate, improving the compatibility and adhesion between the nylon base material and the filler, significantly enhancing the mechanical properties of the composite. In nylon, it significantly improves the toughness and impact strength of the material. Maleic anhydride-grafted POE is typically prepared by using peroxide as an initiator. The grafted monomer, maleic anhydride, and the POE matrix resin are co-extruded in a twin-screw extruder. This process is characterized by its simplicity, convenience, and high throughput, leading to its widespread application. For example, the maleic anhydride-grafted POE provided by Chinese invention patent CN103450403A comprises 94.2-98.5% of a polyolefin elastomer, 0.8-2.0% of maleic anhydride, 0.05-0.5% of a peroxide initiator, and 0.15-0.8% of a heat stabilizer, and 0.5-2.5% of an acetone solvent is added. The mixture is uniformly mixed in a high-speed mixer and then extruded through a single-screw extruder.However, maleic anhydride grafted POE has the following technical problems: First, the melting point (51-56°C) and boiling point (202°C) of maleic anhydride grafting are not high, and it is easy to volatilize and degrade during the actual processing. A thermal stabilizer needs to be added to reduce the degradation reaction of maleic anhydride. Moreover, the maleic anhydride reaction is incomplete in the molten state, which will result in monomer residue, making the product have a strong odor. The residual peroxide initiator will slowly decompose over time, causing the degradation of the POE matrix resin, which in turn affects the mechanical properties; second, the grafting rate of maleic anhydride is not high and the grafting efficiency is low. If the initiator or monomer content is increased, it will cause problems such as degradation and cross-linking of POE; third, the traditional method is generally to distribute the grafting monomers and initiators such as maleic anhydride on the POE surface through solutions or liquids such as silicone oil. However, POE has a high viscosity during the melt grafting process, and it is difficult for the monomers and initiators to diffuse, so its reaction interface is small, resulting in a low grafting rate.

[0003] Based on the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention further makes technical improvements and provides a compatibilizer on the basis of the prior art, using cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride as a grafting monomer to replace the maleic anhydride in the prior art to carry out grafting modification of POE. The invention has the advantages of high grafting rate and simple preparation process. When used in combination with reinforcing materials containing groups such as hydroxyl groups, such as glass fiber, it can improve the interfacial bonding between it and nylon, thereby improving the fusion effect between it and nylon. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a compatibilizer and its preparation method and application, so as to overcome the problems of processing technology limitations caused by the low melting point and boiling point of maleic anhydride in the prior art, and also have the advantages of simple preparation method, low cost and high grafting efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions.

[0006] One aspect of the present invention provides a compatibilizer consisting of a polyolefin elastomer, a grafting monomer and an initiator; wherein the grafting monomer is cis-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride.

[0007] Preferably, the added amount of the grafting monomer accounts for 2-10 wt % of the polyolefin elastomer.

[0015] Preferably, the reaction conditions include a reaction temperature of 200-220° C. and a screw speed of 200-300 rpm.

[0016] Preferably, the feeding speed is 10-20 rpm.

[0021] Preferably, the nylon is nylon 66 or nylon 6; and the antioxidant is antioxidant 1098.

[0022] The compatibilizer (POE-g-TA) prepared by the technical solution of the present invention has TA with both anhydride groups and double bond structures. The anhydride groups can react with hydroxyl-containing glass fibers, while the double bond structure at the other end is entangled with the long chains of nylon through hydrogen bonding, thereby enhancing the compatibility between the glass fibers and nylon.

[0027] 4.

[0088] Table 1 Raw material composition, processing conditions, grafting rate and melt index of each embodiment and comparative example

[0089] As can be seen from Example 1, Example 3 and Example 4, the higher the content of the grafted monomer, the higher the grafting rate. This is mainly because the increase in the monomer content can increase the number of effective collisions between it and the grafted resin free radicals, increase the collision probability, and thus improve the grafting rate. However, when the monomer content increases to a certain extent, the increase in the grafting rate tends to be stable. As can be seen from Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, with the increase in the amount of initiator added, the grafting rate shows a development trend of first increasing and then decreasing. This is attributed to the fact that the increase in the initiator within a certain range is conducive to inducing the polymer macromolecules to produce more free radicals, increasing the grafting sites on the macromolecular chain, thereby increasing the contact probability with the monomer. However, when the amount of initiator added exceeds a certain limit, it will cause the free radical concentration to be too large, resulting in an intensification of the coupling reaction between the free radicals, which will hinder the grafting reaction between the macromolecular free radicals and the monomer.

[0090] It can be seen from Example 1, Example 5 and Comparative Example 2 that the grafting rate also shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of processing temperature. Combined with theoretical analysis: processing temperature affects the efficiency and activity of the grafting reaction by affecting the decomposition rate of the initiator. At lower temperatures, NITR in NITR-DCP tends to covalently bind to the growing free radicals to form dormant species. At this time, the decomposition rate of DCP is also slow, which makes the grafting reaction rate of the system low; as the temperature rises, the NITR dormant species can reversely split to form growing free radicals, while accelerating the decomposition of DCP, so that the composite initiator system can induce the production of more macromolecular free radicals, which is conducive to the occurrence of grafting reaction. When the temperature is too high, excessive macromolecular free radicals can easily cause side reactions such as cross-linking and coupling, inhibiting the grafting reaction.

[0091] It can be seen from Example 1, Example 6 and Comparative Example 3 that when the screw speed is 200 rpm, the grafting rate of the system is the highest. When the screw speed is increased to 350 rpm, part of the initiator is squeezed out before it has time to decompose and take effect, which is equivalent to a reduction in the effective content of the initiator participating in the reaction, resulting in a significant decrease in the grafting rate.

[0092] The compatibilizers prepared in Example 1 (compatibilizer 1#), Example 2 (compatibilizer 2#), Example 3 (compatibilizer 3#), Example 4 (compatibilizer 4#), Example 5 (compatibilizer 5#), Example 6 (compatibilizer 6#), and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 (compatibilizer 1'# to compatibilizer 3'#) were applied to a glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 system, as follows: Example 7 67 parts of nylon 66, 30 parts of glass fiber, 3 parts of compatibilizer 1# obtained in Example 1, and 0.3 parts of antioxidant 1098 were weighed and mixed in a high-speed mixer.
